Opunui Corporation has two manufacturing departments--Molding and Finishing. The company used the following data at the beginning of the year to calculate predetermined overhead rates:
Molding Finishing Total
Estimated total machine-hours (MHs) 3,250 3,000 6,250
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $27,000 $4,700 $31,700
Estimated variable manufacturing overhead cost per MH $ 1.00 $ 2.00
During the most recent month, the company started and completed two jobs--Job A and Job M. There were no beginning inventories. Data concerning those two jobs follow:
Job A Job M
Direct materials $15,900 $ 9,700
Direct labor cost $ 23,000 $ 9,500
Molding machine-hours 1,250 2,000
Finishing machine-hours 1,750 500
Assume that the company uses a plantwide predetermined manufacturing overhead rate based on machine-hours and uses a markup of 30% on manufacturing cost to establish selling prices. The calculated selling price for Job A is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
a) $58,550
b) $99,500
c) $76,115
d) $17,565
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated total machine-hours (MHs)= 6,250
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost= $31,700
Estimated variable manufacturing overhead cost= (1*3,250 + 2*3,000)= $9,250
Job A
Direct materials $15,900
Direct labor cost $ 23,000
Molding machine-hours 1,250
Finishing machine-hours 1,750
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (31,700 + 9,250)/6,250
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6.55 per machine hour
Now, we can calculate the total cost of Job A:
Total cost= 15,900 + 23,000 + 6.55*3,000
Total cost= $58,550
Finally, the selling price for Job A:
Selling price= 58,550*1.3= $76,115
Consider, in 2010, there was only one movie produced by Marvel Studios(Iron Man 2). In 2018, there were three (Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, and Ant-Man and the Wasp).
a) Find a linear model that shows how many MCU films are made each year (use xx to be years since 2010) using the data above.
b) With the model found in (a), how many MCU films should release in 2020?
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
a) A linear model is represented in the form y = mx + c, where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the rate of change and c is the value of y at x = 0.
Since x = years since 2010, let y = number of movies produced
In 2010 (x = 0), y = 1, this can be represented as (0, 1)
In 2018 (x = 8), y = 3, it can be represented as (8, 3)
Hence, with the points (0,1) and (8, 3) using the formula:
[tex]y-1=\frac{3-1}{8-0}(x-0)\\ \\y-1=\frac{1}{4}x\\\\y=\frac{1}{4}x+1[/tex]
b) In 2020 (x = 10), the number of films that would be released is:
[tex]y=\frac{1}{4}x+1\\ \\y=\frac{1}{4}(10)+1\\ \\y=2.5+1\\\\y=3.5\\\\y=3[/tex]
3 movies would be released
Jing Company was started on January 1, Year 1 when it issued common stock for $36,000 cash. Also, on January 1, Year 1 the company purchased office equipment that cost $16,000 cash. The equipment was delivered under terms FOB shipping point, and transportation cost was $2,100. The equipment had a five-year useful life and a $5,800 expected salvage value. Using double-declining-balance depreciation, what the amount of depreciation expense and the amount of accumulated depreciation, respectively, that would appear on the December 31, Year 3 financial statements
Answer:
$716 and $12,300
Explanation:
Original Cost = $16,000 + $2,100
Original Cost = $18,100
Double decline rate = 100/5*2
Double decline rate = 40%
First Year Depreciation = $18,100*40%
First Year Depreciation = $7,240
Second Year Depreciation = $18,100*60%*40%
Second Year Depreciation = $18,100*0.60*0.40
Second Year Depreciation = $4,344
Third Year Depreciation = ($18,100 - $7,240 - $4,344 -$5,800)
Third Year Depreciation = $716
Accumulated Depreciation = $7,240 + $4,344 + $716
Accumulated Depreciation = $12,300
Average stock of raw material and raw material consumption per annum are Rs.1,24,000 and Rs.8,42,000 respectively. Consider 365days. Calculate raw material consumption period.
Answer: 54 days
Explanation:
Raw Material consumption period = Average stock of Raw Material / Average stock of Raw material Consumption per day
Average stock of Raw material Consumption per day = Raw Material consumption per Annum / 365
= 842,000/365
= Rs. 2,306.85
Raw material consumption period
= 124,000/2,306.85
= 53.75
= 54 days

A father and mother are planning a savings program to put their daughter through college. Their daughter is now 8 years old. She plans to enroll at the university when she is 18 and it should take her 4 years to complete her education. Currently, the cost per year (for tuition, etc.) is $16,200, but a 2 percent inflation rate in these costs is forecasted. The cost for each year of college will be withdrawn when she turns 18, 19, 20, and 21. The daughter received $13,000 at age 4 and another $2,900 at age 6 from her grandmother; this money, which is invested in an account earning 7.5 percent interest compounded annually, will be used to help meet the costs of the daughter's education. The rest of the costs will be met by money the parents will deposit in the savings account. They will make 4 equal annual deposits to the account, with the first deposit being made today on her 8th birthday and the last one being made on her 11th birthday. These deposits will also earn 7.5 percent interest compounded annually. How large must each deposit (from the parents) be in order to put the daughter through college
Answer:
$4,102.57
Explanation:
we must first calculate the future costs of college:
cost of college year 1 = $16,200 x (1 + 2%)¹⁰ = $19,747.71
cost of college year 2 = $19,747.71 x 1.02 = $20,142.66
cost of college year 3 = $20,142.66 x 1.02 = $20,545.51
cost of college year 4 = $20,545.51 x 1.02 = $20,956.42
in order to determine how much money does the family need to have before college starts we must discount the cost of college by 7.5%:
PV cost of college year 1 = $19,747.71
PV cost of college year 2 = 20,142.66 / 1.075 = $18,737.36
PV cost of college year 3 = $20,545.51 / 1.075² = $17,778.70
PV cost of college year 4 = $20,956.42 / 1.075³ = $16,869.09
total = $73,132.86
the future value of the grandmother's deposits:
$13,000 x (1 + 7.5%)¹⁴ = $35,781.77
$2,900 x (1 + 7.5%)¹² = $6,907.16
total = $42,688.93
that means that you will need to save $73,132.86 - $42,688.93 = $30,443.93 by the time your child turns 18
you will make 4 deposits and their future value will be:
deposit x 1.075¹⁰ = 2.0610D
deposit x 1.075⁹ = 1.9172D
deposit x 1.075⁸ = 1.7835D
deposit x 1.075⁷ = 1.6590D
total = 7.4207D
yearly deposit = $30,443.93 / 7.4207 = $4,102.57
Assume that Minneapolis’ sales by major market are: Market Minneapolis Medical Dental Sales $ 390,000 100 % $ 260,000 100 % $ 130,000 100 % Variable expenses 234,000 60 % 169,000 65 % 65,000 50 % Contribution margin 156,000 40 % 91,000 35 % 65,000 50 % Traceable fixed expenses 46,800 12 % 13,000 5 % 33,800 26 % Market segment margin 109,200 28 % $ 78,000 30 % $ 31,200 24 % Common fixed expenses not traceable to markets 11,700 3 % Office segment margin $ 97,500 25 % The company would like to initiate an intensive advertising campaign in one of the two market segments during the next month. The campaign would cost $5,200. Marketing studies indicate that such a campaign would increase sales in the Medical market by $45,500 or increase sales in the Dental market by $39,000. Required: 1. How much would the company's profits increase (decrease) if it implemented the advertising campaign in the Medical Market? 2. How much would the company's profits increase (decrease) if it implemented the advertising campaign in the Dental Market? 3. In which of the markets would you recommend that the company focus its advertising campaign?
Answer:
1. Medical market $10,725
2. Dental market $14,300
3. Dental market
Explanation:
1. Calculation for How much would the company's profits increase (decrease) in the Medical Market
MEDICAL MARKET
Increase in sales $45,500
Contribution Magin ratio 35%
Increase in contribution margin $15,925
(Medical $45,500*35%=$15,925)
Less increase in Advertisement $5,200
Increase in company profit
$10,725
Based on the above calculation Medical Market profit will increase by $10,725
2. Calculation for How much would the company's profits increase (decrease) in the Dental Market
DENTAL MARKET
Increase in sales $39,000
Contribution Magin ratio 50%
Increase in contribution margin $19,500
(Dental $39,000*50%=$19,500)
Less increase in Advertisement $5,200
Increase in company profit
$14,300
Based on the above calculation Dental Market profit will increase by $14,300
3. Based on the above calculation I would recommend that the company should focus its advertising campaign on DENTAL MARKET because DENTAL MARKET has the highest profit of the amount of $14,300 than Medical market which has a profit of $10,725.

Toyota has been working alongside us for years, but we just heard the bad news: they’re not renewing our electric vehicle (EV) collaboration when the current project is completed. Their research and development (R&D) team feels that they’ve finally caught up, and they’re going to start using their own EV components in their cars—even though the range is less than ours, the components are less expensive.This represents an example of which of the following competitive forces?a. Bargaining power of suppliersb. Bargaining power of buyers (customers)
Answer:
The right approach is Option a (Bargaining power of suppliers).
Explanation:
The concept is such an industry influences the buyer's business climate and determines the potential including its buyer to attain profitability.The meaning is basically how very much jurisdiction a single provider has. By supplier, I represent the industries that create the manufactured goods that even the sellers refine into the finished product to something like the sellers throughout the business. If there are several suppliers during the sector because each supplier is indeed very poor.Which of the following is the correct order of market structure from most competitive to least?
Monopoly, Oligopoly, Monopolistic Competition, Perfect Competition
Perfect Competition, Monopoly, Monopolistic Competition, Oligopoly
Oligopoly, Perfect Competition, Monopolistic Competition, Monopoly
Perfect Competition, Monopolistic Competition, Oligopoly, Monopoly
Answer:
Perfect Competition, Monopolistic Competition, Oligopoly, Monopoly
Explanation:
In perfect competition, many sellers are competing to sell an identical product. The market has very many small suppliers. No single supplier dominates the market, meaning no seller has the power to influence the price. The market has very many buyers as well. Suppliers have the freedom to enter or exit the market with ease.
Monopolist competition has very many sellers selling similar but differentiated products. Due to the differentiated aspect, sellers can set the prices for their products. The market has very many buyers.
An oligopoly is where a few big suppliers dominate the market. The oligopoly market may have other smaller suppliers whose market share is a small percentage. Oligopoly may stock or manufacture identical or differentiated products.
A monopoly is where a dominant supplier is selling a particular product without competition. Only one supplier is selling that type of product. An oligopoly can sell lifetime solutions through books.
Answer:
Monopolistic competition

Candlewood LLC started business on August 1, and it adopted a calendar tax year. During the year, Candlewood incurred $10,950 in legal fees for drafting the LLC's operating agreement and $5,475 in accounting fees for tax advice of an organizational nature, for a total of $16,425 of organizational costs. Candlewood also incurred $22,000 of preopening advertising expenses and $31,000 of salaries and training costs for new employees before opening for business, for a total of $53,000 of startup costs. The LLC wants to take the largest deduction available for these costs. If required, round any division to six decimal places and use in subsequent computations. Round your final answers to the nearest dollar. How much can Candlewood deduct as organizational expenses
Answer:
$5,317
Explanation:
Calculation of the organizational expenses is as shown below.
Actual expense $53,000 - reduced startup $48,000 = $5,000
This means that Candlewood LLC may deduct
= ($16,425 - $5,000) × 5/180
= $11,425 × 5/180
= $317.4
Therefore, organizational expenses would be;
= $5,000 + $317.361111
= $5,317.361111
= $5,317. Approximated to the nearest dollar.
Candlewood LLC may deduct $5,317 as organizational expenses.
Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] During April, the first production department of a process manufacturing system completed its work on 310,000 units of a product and transferred them to the next department. Of these transferred units, 62,000 were in process in the production department at the beginning of April and 248,000 were started and completed in April. April's beginning inventory units were 70% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of April, 84,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 90% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion. Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to both materials used and conversion used in the first production department for April using the weighted-average method.
Answer:
Computation of Equivalent units
units Materials Conversion
Started & completed 248,000 248,000 248,000
Ending inventory 84,000 75,600 33,600
Equivalent units 323,600 281,600
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Units transferred out = 310,000
Beginning inventory = 62,000 (70% materials and 30% conversion)
Started and completed = 248,000
Ending inventory = 84,000 (90% materials and 40% conversion)
b) Equivalent units are physical units expressed as finished units by multiplying the physical units with the degree of completion in terms of materials and conversion (labor and overheads).

Shares issued 140,000
Dividends paid per share $1.80
Market price per share $52
Additional paid-in capital $500,000
Unappropriated retained
earnings (after closing) $280,000
Retained earnings
appropriated for
contingencies $300,000
Common treasury stock:
Number of shares 10,000
Total cost $250,000
Net income $580,000
Compute (assume no changes in balances during the past year):
A) Total amount of stockholders' equity in the balance sheet.
B) Earnings per share of common stock.
C) Book value per share of common stock.
D) Payout ratio of common stock.
E) Return on common stock equity per share per share.
Answer:
A. Total amount of stockholders' equity in the balance sheet.
= Preferred stock + Common Stock + Additional Paid-In Capital + Unappropriated retained earnings + Retained earnings appropriated for contingencies - Treasury stock
= (100 * 10,000) + (10 * 140,000) + 500,000 + 280,000 + 300,000 - 250,000
= $3,230,000
B. Earnings per share of common stock.
= (Net Income - Preferred Dividends ) / (Common stock - treasury stock)
= (580,000 - (10,000 * 6% * 100) ) / (140,000 - 10,000)
= $4
C. Book value per share of common stock.
= (Stockholder's equity - Preferred stock) / ( Common stock - Treasury)
= (3,230,000 - (100 * 10,000) ) / (140,000 - 10,000)
= $17.15
D. Payout ratio of common stock
= Dividend per share/ Earnings per share
= 1.8/4
= 45%
E. Return on common stock equity
= (Net Income - Preferred Dividends ) / (Stockholder's equity - Preferred stock)
= (580,000 - (10,000 * 6% * 100) / (3,230,000 - (100 * 10,000) )
= 0.233
= 23.3%

You also know from the previously published results that the standard deviation for any ROI in the software industry is .25 What is the value of the test statistic for your research hypothesis?
a. -1.3145.
b. -1.2728.
c. -2.3738.
d. -2.2411.
e. -2.6291.
Answer:
e. -2.6291.
Explanation:
from the information available in this question,
mean x₁ = 0.12
mean x₂ = 0.30
n₁ = 24
n₂ = 30
n1 = 24 < 30
n₂ = 30 <= 30
therefore we would be solving this using the t test.
we have
[tex]t =\frac{x_{1-x_{2} } }{s} *\sqrt{\frac{n1n2}{n1+n2} }[/tex]
inserting values whe have:
[tex]t=\frac{0.12-0.30}{0.25} *\sqrt{\frac{24*30}{24+30} }[/tex]
[tex]t = -0.72 *\sqrt{13.33333}[/tex]
[tex]t=-0.72*3.6514836[/tex]
[tex]t=-2.629067947[/tex]
this is approximately

Calculation
Direct variable costs per unit associated with Product A1 = Direct materials + Direct manufacturing labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Sales commissions
Direct variable costs per unit associated with Product A1 = $110 + $90 + $45 + $10
Direct variable costs per unit associated with Product A1 = $255
The environmental protection agency of a county would like to preserve a piece of land as a wilderness area. The current owner has offered to lease the land to the county for 20 years in return for a lump-sum payment of $1.1 million, which would be paid at the beginning of the 20-year period. The agency has estimated that the land would generate $110,000 per year in benefits to hunters, bird watchers, and hikers. Assume that the lease price represents the social opportunity cost of the land and that the appropriate real discount rate is 4 percent.
a. Assuming that the yearly benefits, which are measured in real dollars, accrue at the end of each of the 20 years, calculate the net benefits of leasing the land. Should the environmental protection agency pay for this piece of land?
b. Some analysts in the agency argue that the annual real benefits are likely to grow at a rate of 2 percent per year due to increasing population and county income. Recalculate the net benefits assuming that they are correct. Should the environmental protection agency pay for this piece of land?
Answer:
a. Assuming that the yearly benefits, which are measured in real dollars, accrue at the end of each of the 20 years, calculate the net benefits of leasing the land. Should the environmental protection agency pay for this piece of land?
the net benefits of leasing the land = the present value of the benefits generated
PV = annual benefit x pv annuity factor
annual benefit = $110,000pv annuity factor 20 years, 4% = 13.590PV = $110,000 x 13.59 = $1,494,900
Since the present value of the benefits is higher than the lease price, then this transaction should be carried out.
b. Some analysts in the agency argue that the annual real benefits are likely to grow at a rate of 2 percent per year due to increasing population and county income. Recalculate the net benefits assuming that they are correct. Should the environmental protection agency pay for this piece of land?
this is a growing annuity, therefore we have to use the following formula:
PV = [p / (r - g)] x {1 - [(1 + g)/(1 + r)]ⁿ}
p = $110,000r = 4%g = 2%n = 20PV = [$110,000 / (4% - 2%)] x {1 - [(1 + 2%)/(1 + 4%)]²⁰} = $5,500,000 x 0.321833005 = $1,770,081.53
Since the present value of the net benefits are even higher now, then the environmental agency should definitely pay.

Banks and other lenders' interest rate-setting processes are influenced by Federal Reserve decisions. To finance anything from a car or home to your purchases using a credit card, higher Fed interest rates equate to more expensive borrowing charges.
Thus, option B is correct.

Which of the following statements is true concerning the consequences of rent controls? A. Construction companies are big winners because more housing units are being built due to guaranteed rental income. B. Low income earners are big winners since it is easier to obtain housing. C. Property owners are big winners since they receive a guaranteed amount of rent. D. Upper income earners are big winners due to the fact that they can better exploit nonprice rationing devices. E. All of the above.
Answer: D. Upper income earners are big winners due to the fact that they can better exploit nonprice rationing devices.
Explanation:
The market is price rationing which means that when there is more demand than supply for a particular good, it would allocate that good based on price i.e. it will increase the price which would reduce demand and so those who can afford it will afford it.
Nonprice rationing devices (like discrimination) attempt to do this same thing but without using the price mechanism when measures like rent controls are in place.
This means that landlords will start to selectively pick tenants so that they will be sure that they will be paid because they will feel that lower income earners (who can now rent the property due to the rent control) will have a harder time paying. Upper income earners will therefore be big winners because they will get preferential treatment.

Does Diamond’s recording of the August 2010 ‘‘continuity’’ payments and August/September 2011 ‘‘momentum’’ payments as the purchases of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011, respectively, comply with the U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles)? Why or why not? Provide support from the accounting literature, including the FASB Concept Statements, in support of your argument
Answer:
The correct response is "No".
Explanation:
The August year 2010 "continuity" transactions reported by Diamonds as well as the August/September year 2011 "momentum" transactions or transfers do not cooperate within U.S. GAAP. Diamond said that because it was truly compensating for products they had indeed purchased, the fees are there for potential products to be obtained.
